Frédéric Doria-Nicolas, one of the treasure hunters of the French label “The Lost Recordings”, came across a recording of Sonny Boy Williamson in the radio archives during a trip to Bremen – from 1963, alone on stage. The quality of the recording was not only musically captivating – it was worthy of a high-end presentation! A few months later, the label also found the original tapes of another incredible concert from 1962 in Stockholm. “The Lost Recordings” is proud to have tracked down the lost performances of these blues gods – at the Olympia in Paris in 1962 and at the Bremen City Theater in 1963 – and to release them for the first time in the form of a double UltraHighQualityCD.
John Lee Hooker, Memphis Slim, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Willie Dixon, Shakey Jake, T-Bone Walker, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Jump Jackson, Croatian guitarist Davor Kajfes and singer Helen Humes all appear on “The Original American Folk Blues Festival”.
“The Lost Recordings” is celebrated worldwide for preserving invaluable musical heritage and for the unsurpassed quality of its Phoenix-Mastering™ restorations. The double UHQCD of ‘The Original American Folk Blues Festival - Live In Paris 1962, Bremen 1963’ is an audiophile revelation that shows how fantastic stereophonic mono recordings can sound.
